For an excellent margarita and Mexican food , this is a sure bet for lunch or dinner ! The Cantina Shooters are my favorite and you can't go wrong with their fresh made guacamole .
Great SW & Mexican food . Try a blood orange margarita or sample their tequila . For food the nachos are a must, pulled pork chalupas , Sonoran Mac n cheese or the meatloaf w/ chorizo gravy .
The staff is wonderful and Chef Esteban does some amazing upscale Mexican food . I love the nachos , chalupas , meatloaf , and pork tenderloin over southwest Mac n cheese .
The guacamole was great. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The chef came to the table and was very personable. I had a great time.
Had a delicious pork tacos dinner there last night......Make sure you request Tony as your server for he really knows the menu and provides excellent service.
All the food is great. The ingredients are right, the sauces and salsas all have nuance and great flavor.
Best part of our visit was the El Pedregal margarita . The chicken fajita didn’t have much flavour. Busty fun place.
Fish tacos , ceviche ( with some heat) fried banana for dessert . Great service, server was Cody.
Fantastic restaurant - try the carnitas chimichanga . All the margaritas are excellent
I love their salsa ! And their food is great. It's gd to share a meal too!
Amazing fajitas . Great selection of tequilas . Make a reservation .
Can't go wrong with the chop salad made table side and a horseshoe margarita (or two).
everything was great!!! i consider myself an expert when it comes to mexican food and this place got a 10 in every category!
The fried jalapeño popper appetizer is a must get. The best thing on the menu! Spicy but not too overwhelming.
It's all about the nachos and the enchiladas . Nothing beats either of them.
Great Food!! Fish tacos are a must! Jonathan can answer all your menu questions!
Stuffed peppers are a must. The pulled pork is very juicy!
Pozolli = yummy. Patio right after sun goes down , even better
www.WhiteDino.com says must try the fajitas 's!
Amazing Mexican food with incredible presentation.
The frozen margaritas are muy delicioso, and my tilapia was perfect.
Quality cocktailing . Cool twists on classics with original recipes too.
If you like it HOT, ask for the ghost pepper salsa with your chips (and a glass of milk just in case)!
I have to agree, AZ Best Nachos last three years! They Rock, order'm up.
Nachos kick ass! Order them w/extra raw jalepenos . Arizona mac n cheese great,order extra bacon & extra jalepenos .
Try the frozen margaritas . They are amazing!
The food is fantastic but the service is even better.
Tilapia is excellent!!!!
After reading all of these great reviews our waiter never came to our table to help us. So, the hostess ended up taking our order.
It's a long ride back to the casita after the donkey nachos .
Best $5 happy hour marg EVER!!
Try the baja fish tacos !
Carne asada was good, but served as if it was just steak fajitas .
Pick the poppers!
Amazing food! Amazing atmosphere!
Great meatloaf .
Good place... If you like cold overcooked food and poor service
Pomegranate margs are a must, for a good veggie option go enchiladas! - Makena Heffernan
This place is amazing!! Best Mexican food I have ever had! Not kidding! The steak fajitas are mouth watering. Can't wait to go back again. - Becky Barnhart
On a scale of 1-10, 10 being a lot, their organic and gluten free selections are at about a 4. Good frozen Amy's selection though. - Kali wailey
Great selection of both yogurt flavors and toppings...super friendly staff. - Sean Brown
